1. There is no 'far right.'

We need to acknowledge the fact that the authoritarian, illiberal, neo-fascist tenets of white grievance politics and racist replacement theory are indeed mainstream conservativism.

We need to stop thinking that white grievance politics and racist replacement theory are the sole purview of rightwing extremism that manifests only among a minority of conservatives on the political fringe.

This is who and what conservatives are, this is who and what Republicans are.
